Temp-to-Perm Staffing

Trial before making a permanent hiring decision

LittleStar Staffing’s temp-to-perm service allows childcare centres to trial an educator in their workplace before offering a permanent position. This flexible approach helps centres assess performance, reliability and cultural fit while maintaining continuity of care.

It’s a practical, low-risk solution for centres seeking long-term team members with confidence.

When Temp-to-Perm Is the Best Option

This service is ideal when centres want to:

  • Assess an educator’s suitability before permanent hiring

  • Reduce recruitment risks

  • Observe work ethic and team compatibility

  • Maintain ratios while recruiting

  • Build long-term staffing stability

Temp-to-perm gives you time to make the right decision.

How the Process Works

  • We place a suitable educator on a temporary basis

  • The educator works within your centre and team

  • You evaluate performance and fit over time

  • If suitable, the educator transitions to a permanent role

We support both the centre and educator throughout the process.
